Guiding ideas
Our vision: Our vision is a world where animals are respected and protected.
Our promise: We promise supporters and policy makers effective animal protection solutions delivered with intelligence, compassion and integrity.
Our principles: In order to achieve IFAW’s vision of a world where animals are respected and protected, we follow key principles in our hands-on projects with animals and in our advocacy work to secure better animal welfare protection in policy, legislation and society:
- It should be recognised that animals have intrinsic value and are sentient beings.
- Policy should be based on sound science and the ethical treatment of animals.
- Conservation decisions should be guided by ecological sustainability and biological sustainability, the precautionary principle and ethical treatment of animals.
